I have a 2003 Neon SXT with 211K on it. I have had it a little over 100K and the AC has worked flawless! About 3 weeks ago I turned it on during a unusually warm day and it did not work. I have tried it a few times since then and nothing! I opened the hood today and turned the AC on and checked to see if the clutch was engaged and it was NOT.
Anyone have any ideas of things that would cause it or things to check?
Would a bad High Pressure switch cause it to not allow the clutch to engage?

Thanks!

Refrigerant leaked out.

 

Took it to a shop to get looked at, he said the ends of the condenser are leaking. He is replacing that and recharging the system. I hope it lasts me a long time!!!

 

I made this a while back. It's cartoonish, but useful for diagnosing AC failures.
